Having moved TO Oregon FROM Wisconsin back in '04, I was definitely "blue" about the liquor control out here. The people are all liberal and such, but Oregon politics is fuckin' ridiculously nanny state slanted.
How does that explain crap like the PATRIOT Act or any other crud passed in a hurry since 9/11?? Law changes quickly when it benefits the right people.
Seeing as how you prefaced your comment that you were a photographer, I was feeling your insight. Right until the end...
Google: I don't like your lack of respect for my privacy, but for this work on Wine, I can say from the bottom of my heart: Thank you! If you use Google products, you're accepting their terms. Don't like 'em, don't use 'em. Really you should be upset with yourself at not respecting your own privacy.
Depends on the person. From his exploits, Steve Fossett didn't seem like the type of person that, if you asked, would be too keen on slipping away while probably in pain the entire time.
Ok Mr Sherman. You first. On the computers belonging to your household, friends, family. May as well throw it on the company PC's too. How many other network admins have had to flog a user over storing their iTunes on the corp FS?
it would lower the transportation costs, energy usage, and build monster jobs. But see all three of those things reduce income for the invested Powers that Be. No way one or two billionaires, in our current state of affairs, would do something so drastic to fuck another member of the "Rich ass mother fucker" club.
It's called social Darwinism. If, as a SCO employee, you buried your head in the sand and let the companies mgmt run it into the ground, and have a hard time finding work, good... sorry don't be such a sheep next time.
I'm sick of sympathy for people that would claim they were "just doing their job." Their job is being an accountant, a software engineer, a janitor, whatever, which can just as well be done at a company that isn't in a hurry to fuck themselves over.
Let me guess, ~40 billion for Yahoo! and the rest of their cash to pay off regulators? Otherwise I can't see how a convicted monopolist could get approval.
Meanwhile each CD only sells for 10-15 bucks. Somehow they feel copying that CD and losing them that sale is worth fines that are many orders of magnitude what they actually "lost" (using their definition of lost).
Yes because, you know, the computers we have now will be the same ones we use 10+ years from now. Computer chip makers are switching over to competing with Frito-Lay. MS and F/OSS people have decided to quit battling and throw picnics (however it turns ugly when F/OSS organizers invite everyone, but MS only wants to invite its buddies). Technology as it exists *right now* is the best we'll ever see.
It's the downward spiral! The end is nigh! Hug your PC's and cherish them, for soon it will be back to using slide rules, pencils and parchment!
I read, more than your average American... Dude, that's not saying much. Reading a Bazooka Joe gum-wrapper comic would put anyone close to even with what the average American reads each day.

But since "you started it"; validate your info. MS dropped the WGA+IE7 requirement last fall.

Adobe: Why do that when another company and individuals are putting up the effort to make it work on Linux for us?
Duh! Because it's a *light* powered by weights!
It isn't a $20mil prize, it's a budget request.

It reminds me of the argument put toward the "MAFIAA": Adapt to a new way of doing business or die.
I don't see why Science or Nature should get a pass.
Does this mean the only other intelligent life out there is cows?

I was confused too. I didn't expect proper grammar so I added the S. Google has no clue wtf stendot is either.

That's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
I'd rather skip the site altogether and not run the chance they get ad-revenue than have to install even more anti-$CRAP software. MHO

Unfortunately it was the terrorists who are having the last laugh.
I have long been saying life would be more interesting if we had more six-eyed fish and flipper kids walking around.

Doesn't MTV have a game studio or publishing interest now?
So yeah, come on parents! Let your kids play games! Especially with their logo on it!
